No action against Lukaku

[Bentheblue]

According to the BBC website Ian Wright has said Lakaku should have been banned. Not just us and Brighton fans then.
It's strange how rag players always seem get away with it.

No you're confusing it with the derby at the swamp when A & E knocked out Kolarov's tooth with his elbow. That was the laughable one when no action was taken.

No no no. You are both mistaken, it was when big nose taekwondo elbowed Otamendi that he had to have a bandage done. That was the laughable one.

Amazing how he's got away with this. Have the feeling of it was Aguero that this would be played on loop on all sports programmes! I remember Vieira playing for us, maybe stoke away or somewhere like that, was on his arse and kicked out at someone. It was soft, not violent, more petulant. Missed by ref but given a three game ban... just no consistency, that's all I'd like to see!

Not news................. Big Ears said nobody saw it so it never happened. As you say one of our players did it and there would be 1000 camera angles showing his dastardly assault on an unexpecting foe but you see against a green background it seems wearing a red shirt makes you invisible.

Kicking a ball away after the whistle goes is an act of petulance yet still punishable... why is trying to kick an opponent somehow better than that?
Petulance or not is was intentionally done to cause harm. Absolutely disgraceful decision

I still remember a season or two back Shrek got entirely fairly dispossessed of the ball, he ran after player and just kicked him in the midriff, it couldn't even be classed as a foul as he made no attempt to get the ball at all, just sheer violent conduct... no action taken.

Not really arsed. Big nose is 10 x the footballer, albeit not so mobile these days. Shouldn't really matter either way, about time these c**** were humiliated again!

He could have killed him !

The issue with this decision is that the FA have once again shown their true colours with supporting United. It will be no surprise if we have someone sent off before their match or that they will get soft decisions when we play them.

Have the FArce released a statement yet explaining their decision?
